|
Scene 4 THE LABYRINTH UNDERGROUND (The PHANTOM and CHRISTINE take their strange journey to the PHANTOM'S lair. Candles rise from the stage. We see CHRISTINE and the PHANTOM in a boat which moves slowly across the misty waters of the underground lake) CHRISTINE In sleep he sang to me, in dreams he came . . . that voice which calls to me and speaks my name . . . And do I dream again? For now I find the Phantom of the Opera is there - inside my mind . . . PHANTOM Sing once again with me our strange duet . . . My power over you grows stronger yet . . . And though you turn from me, to glance behind, the Phantom of the Opera is there - inside your mind . . . CHRISTINE Those who have seen your face draw back in fear . . . I am the mask you wear . . . PHANTOM It's me they hear . . . BOTH Your/my spirit and your/my voice, in one combined: the Phantom of the Opera is there - inside your/my mind . . . OFFSTAGE VOICES He's there, the Phantom of the Opera . . . Beware the Phantom of the Opera . . . PHANTOM In all your fantasies, you always knew that man and mystery . . . CHRISTINE . . . were both in you . . . BOTH And in this labyrinth, where night is blind, the Phantom of the Opera is there/here - inside your/my mind . . . Sing, my Angel of Music! CHRISTINE He's there, the Phantom of the Opera . . . (She begins to vocalise strangely, her song becoming more and more extravagant.) ! |
